Grand Unity Battles Quasi-Saint!

Ye Jun was the first to stand before the Gourd Vine, and in that moment, his Quasi-Saint aura was laid bare for all to see!

"Esteemed Daoist Friends, this Gourd Vine—I shall gladly accept it!" Ye Jun declared with overbearing authority.

The many Great Beings present all glared at Ye Jun with fury, yet the might of a Quasi-Saint suppressed them utterly.

"Ye Jun, this Gourd Vine is an ownerless treasure born of Buzhou Mountain—everyone present has a share. We Three Pure Ones will take one each," Yuanshi Tianzun called out.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones speak up, the rest immediately refused to back down.

"Indeed! With so many Great Beings here, do you truly intend to swallow it all alone?"

"This Gourd Vine—I am determined to claim it as well!" Jieyin declared in a clear voice.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi exchanged a glance, then promptly joined the Three Pure Ones.

Could Ye Jun possibly suppress every Great Being present with his strength alone?

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, I am not an unreasonable man. This Gourd Vine has a karmic connection with me—taking one is hardly excessive!" Zhunti spoke slowly.

Ye Jun sneered coldly: "A karmic connection? What connection? I rather feel that you, old bald monk, have a karmic connection with the God-Slaying Spear in my hand!"

With that, he wasted no more words and thrust his God-Slaying Spear straight at Zhunti.

Zhunti's expression flickered with panic as he hastily pulled out the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to block before him.

But how could a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal contend with a Quasi-Saint?

Wherever the God-Slaying Spear passed, Sha Qi coiled thickly. Zhunti let out a great shout, swinging the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree without cease, each swing carrying the might of the Nine Heavens' Starry River.

Yet the gap in cultivation was simply too vast. Ye Jun had barely exerted any force, and Zhunti was already struggling to hold on.

"Daoist Friend Zhunti, still feel that karmic connection?" Ye Jun sneered.

Ye Jun's God-Slaying Spear danced relentlessly, and with every swing, one of the treasures on the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was knocked clean off.

Zhunti's heart was bitter!

"Daoist Friend Jieyin, come to my aid quickly!" Zhunti cried out in anguish, begging Jieyin for help.

Jieyin hastily cast the Golden Light Pagoda. It landed above Zhunti's head, transforming into a golden barrier that blocked Ye Jun's spear thrust.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So the two from the Western World intend to reason with me together?" Ye Jun said slowly.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, we have no desire to fight, but your appetite for monopolizing this Gourd Vine is far too great!" Jieyin said darkly.

Did they truly want to fight Ye Jun?

Heavens, this was a Quasi-Saint! Even at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, they wouldn't court death like this.

But they couldn't let the Gourd Vine go either—otherwise, wouldn't they be losing out massively?

"Too great an appetite? I've always been this way—I'm used to it!" Ye Jun declared with domineering confidence.

Then he raised his God-Slaying Spear once more and hurled it fiercely toward the sky. The spear's body was wreathed in Sha Qi, and the boundless miasma coalesced into a pitch-black, blood-red dragon.

The dragon breathed out deadly mist, its two enormous pupils glaring at Jieyin and Zhunti with murderous intent.

"Since you two refuse to leave, then let us fight!" Ye Jun sneered.

Jieyin and Zhunti's hearts suddenly trembled. Was this the power of a Quasi-Saint?

Jieyin took a deep breath, his hands flashing through a series of hand seals. The Golden Light Pagoda above his head blazed with golden radiance, expanding into a massive protective barrier that shielded them tightly.

"Go!" Ye Jun roared. The dragon formed from the God-Slaying Spear hurtled straight toward Jieyin and Zhunti.

Wherever it passed, Sha Qi spread everywhere!

The black-red dragon slammed directly into the Golden Light Pagoda. Before Jieyin could even feel relief, the pagoda shattered with a resounding crack.

Jieyin and Zhunti were blasted thousands of miles away by the dragon, crashing straight into the mountain pillar of Buzhou Mountain!

Ye Jun sneered coldly. His figure vanished in an instant, reappearing beside Jieyin and Zhunti.

Looking at their deathly pale faces, Ye Jun broke into a grin.

"You two, any thoughts on this Gourd Vine now?"

Jieyin and Zhunti's hearts were filled with endless bitterness. This Monkey was far too arrogant!

But the key point was that they had no way to deal with him. Was the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal truly this vast?

How were they supposed to play this game?

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, we have no further designs on the Gourd Vine. We will leave Buzhou Mountain at once!" Jieyin said, his voice trembling.

This trip to Buzhou Mountain had cost them all their face!

They only wanted to flee Buzhou Mountain now. As for the Gourd Vine, let whoever wanted it have it.

With that baleful star Ye Jun here, the Gourd Vine was likely out of reach.

The Three Pure Ones and Di Jun's group all watched Ye Jun with grim expressions. This Monkey had gone too far.

With such tyrannical behavior, wasn't he afraid of incurring everyone's wrath?

"Leave? Ah, my two friends, I already said so before, but you refused to leave then. Now that you want to go, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Ye Jun said mockingly.

Jieyin and Zhunti stared at Ye Jun in shock and bewilderment. What did he mean by that?

Could it be that this fellow actually planned to keep them trapped here in Buzhou Mountain?

Seeing the expressions on those two old bald donkeys, Ye Jun knew they had misunderstood.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Two Daoist Friends, don't misunderstand. It's just that if you want to leave, you have to pay something, don't you?"

What the hell?

Pay something?

Were the two of them supposed to hand over spiritual treasures to Ye Jun in return?

Ridiculous!

But as they watched Ye Jun's expression grow increasingly serious, they realized this was probably true!

The two then spoke with troubled faces, "Daoist Friend Ye Jun, we two come from the Western World, and the Western World is truly barren. We really have no spiritual treasures."

Jieyin and Zhunti had already made up their minds—play up their misery. If they were pitiful enough, surely this fellow wouldn't make a move again.

But the moment Jieyin looked up, he saw something familiar.

The tip of the God-Slaying Spear!

"This poor Daoist is running out of patience!" Ye Jun said, his face as heavy as water.

The cold Sha Qi of the God-Slaying Spear drew closer and closer.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, wait!" Jieyin shouted. Ye Jun, looking utterly indifferent, withdrew the God-Slaying Spear.

Jieyin and Zhunti both winced in pain as they tossed out a ball of light.

Ye Jun swept his Divine Sense over it and saw a mass of Geng Gold Qi and a Bodhi Seed.

"At least you know what's good for you. This poor Daoist won't see you out!" Ye Jun said with a smile.

Then he casually put away the two balls of light.

Seeing Ye Jun relent, Jieyin and Zhunti transformed their forms on the spot, turning into two streaks of light that vanished into Buzhou Mountain.

Only then did Ye Jun stretch lazily, turned his head to look at the other Great Beings, and spread his hands.

As if to say, everyone saw that—this has nothing to do with me.

It was Jieyin and Zhunti who started the provocation.

The Three Pure Ones and Di Jun were all utterly dumbfounded. This Monkey was way too shameless!
